Most people will know by now that, one again I failed to complete
the Bob Graham Challenge. This time it was purely down to a
failure in the moving parts namely the left knee and ankle. The
match was declared a victory for Bob Graham at Dunmail after 13
hours.
However, the main reason for taking up space in the
Newsletter is to once again thank all the supporters, especially
Colin Henson who acted as the organising supremo. Also to
congratulate the successful pair. Matt Simms and Dave Lockwood.
Well done chaps!

JOSS NAYLOR'S CHARITY
CHALLENGE
Last year Joss Naylor, the greatest fell runner of this
century, invented a new route now known as Naylor's Lakeland
Crossing. At the age of 54, Joss accompanied by son-in-law Colin
Dulson ran from Pooley Bridge at the east end of Ullswater to his
mother's home in Wasdale covering the highest fells and only
setting foot on tarmac as he crossed Kirkstone Pass and Dunmail
Raise - a total distance of 47 miles with 16,200 ft of ascent. He
was raising money for Age Concern.
He has now issued a challenge to anyone else who would like
to repeat his route. "I invented it as a hard day for those of us
who had passed a half century, but youngsters are equally welcome
to attempt it", says Joss.
Joss is offering inscribed and signed Pewter tankards to the
first twenty over 50's who complete the traverse: Over 50s have a
time allowance of 12 hours: over 60s have 18 hours and over 6 5s
have 24 hours. They must however raise flOO for their favourite
charity.
The full route is described below and all you have to do is
send a signed statement from your pacers together with a receipt
from the charity and Joss will then send you a pewter tankard.
Those under 50 and those over 50 after the first twenty will
receive a signed certificate.
